Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid that a driver feels a sense of incompatibility due to the unexpected restarting of an engine.SOLUTION: A stop-engine request that is output in response to the operation of a brake by a driver, and a stop-engine prohibition request that is output due to the diagnosis of a malfunction in an air-fuel ratio sensor provided in the engine exhaust system or the like, are independent requests, and when both requests are output simultaneously, the stop-engine request, which has higher priority, is executed. When the engine is thus stopped by means of a higher-priority stop-engine request, the stop-engine prohibition request is dismissed so as to prevent the unexpected restarting of the engine when the stop-engine request is canceled.

Description

本発明は、エンジンを自動的に停止可能な車両の制御装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle control apparatus capable of automatically stopping an engine.

エンジンとモータとを車両駆動源として併用するハイブリッド車両では、信号待ち等の一時的な車両停止時に排気清浄化や燃費向上を図るために、車両運転中であってもエンジンを自動的に停止するアイドルストップが行われる（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   In a hybrid vehicle that uses an engine and a motor as a vehicle drive source, the engine is automatically stopped even when the vehicle is operating in order to purify exhaust gas and improve fuel efficiency when the vehicle is temporarily stopped, such as when waiting for a signal. Idle stop is performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

特開２０１０−１７９７１２号公報JP 2010-179712 A

このように車両運転中にエンジンを自動的に停止可能な車両の制御装置では、エンジンを停止するためのエンジン停止要求と、エンジン停止を禁止するためのエンジン停止禁止要求とが、それぞれ独立した要求として個別に設定・出力される。例えば、エンジン停止要求は、運転者のブレーキ操作による急減速時に出力され、エンジン停止禁止要求は、エンジンの稼働中に行われる空燃比センサの故障診断を実施するために出力される。   Thus, in a vehicle control device that can automatically stop an engine during vehicle operation, an engine stop request for stopping the engine and an engine stop prohibition request for prohibiting engine stop are independent requests. Are set and output individually. For example, the engine stop request is output at the time of sudden deceleration due to the driver's brake operation, and the engine stop prohibition request is output to perform a failure diagnosis of the air-fuel ratio sensor that is performed while the engine is running.

これらの相反するエンジン停止要求とエンジン停止禁止要求とが同時に出力された場合には、予め設定された優先度に従って、両要求のうちで一方が優先して実行される。ここで、運転者の操作に応じたエンジン停止要求を、運転者の操作によらないエンジン停止禁止要求よりも優先するようにした場合、以下のような問題が生じる。   When these contradictory engine stop requests and engine stop prohibition requests are output simultaneously, one of the two requests is executed with priority in accordance with a preset priority. Here, when the engine stop request according to the driver's operation is given priority over the engine stop prohibition request not depending on the driver's operation, the following problem occurs.

すなわち、両要求が出力されている状況でエンジン停止要求を優先してエンジン停止を実行した場合、このエンジン停止要求が解除されたときに、優先度が低いためにエンジン停止要求が出力されている間は無効とされていたエンジン停止禁止要求が有効となり、このエンジン停止禁止要求によってエンジン停止が禁止されてエンジンの再始動が行われ、つまり運転者の操作によらない不意のエンジンの再始動が発生し、運転者に違和感を与えるおそれがある。   That is, when the engine stop is executed with priority given to the engine stop request in a situation where both requests are output, the engine stop request is output because the priority is low when the engine stop request is canceled. The engine stop prohibition request that was invalid during the period becomes valid, and the engine stop prohibition request prohibits the engine stop and restarts the engine, that is, the engine is not restarted unexpectedly by the driver. It may occur and give the driver a feeling of strangeness.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたものである。すなわち、本発明は、エンジンを自動的に停止可能な車両の制御装置において、運転者操作に応じて出力されるエンジン停止要求と、車両運転状態に基づいて出力されるエンジン停止禁止要求と、がそれぞれ独立した要求として個別に設定・出力されるものであり、両要求が同時に出力されている場合には、優先度の高いエンジン停止要求を優先して実行する。そして、優先度の高いエンジン停止要求によってエンジン停止を実行した場合に、他の要求であるエンジン停止禁止要求を解除して、このエンジン停止禁止要求を強制的に取り下げる。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. That is, according to the present invention, in a vehicle control apparatus capable of automatically stopping an engine, an engine stop request that is output in response to a driver's operation and an engine stop prohibition request that is output based on the vehicle operating state are: Each request is individually set and output as an independent request. When both requests are output simultaneously, the engine stop request with a high priority is executed with priority. When engine stop is executed by an engine stop request with a high priority, the engine stop prohibition request, which is another request, is canceled and the engine stop prohibition request is forcibly withdrawn.

本発明によれば、エンジン停止要求を優先してエンジン停止を実行した場合に、エンジン停止禁止要求を取り下げるようにしたので、優先されていたエンジン停止要求が解除されたときに、エンジン停止禁止要求によって即座にエンジンの再始動が実行されることがなく、つまり運転者の操作によらない不意のエンジンの再始動が発生することを回避することができる。このため、運転者に違和感を与えることがない。また、不意のエンジンの再始動による排気の悪化や燃費の低下を抑制することができる。   According to the present invention, when the engine stop is executed with priority over the engine stop request, the engine stop prohibition request is withdrawn. Therefore, when the prioritized engine stop request is canceled, the engine stop prohibition request is canceled. Thus, the restart of the engine is not executed immediately, that is, it is possible to avoid the unexpected restart of the engine not caused by the driver's operation. For this reason, the driver does not feel uncomfortable. In addition, it is possible to suppress exhaust deterioration and fuel consumption reduction due to unexpected engine restart.

以下、図示実施例により本発明を説明する。図１は、本発明の一実施例に係る制御装置が適用されるハイブリッド車両を簡略的に示している。この車両は、いわゆる１モータ２クラッチ式のハイブリッド車両であり、車両駆動源としてエンジン１１とモータ１２とが併用されている。エンジン１１は、火花点火式ガソリンエンジンや圧縮自己着火式ディーゼルエンジン等の燃料を燃焼することにより駆動力を生じるものである。モータ１２はバッテリ（図示省略）からの電力により駆動力を発生するとともに、動力を回生してバッテリへ充電可能な発電機としても機能するモータジェネレータである。エンジン１１とモータ１２との間には第１クラッチ１３が介装され、モータ１２と駆動輪１４との間には、自動変速機１５及び第２クラッチ１６が介装されている。第１クラッチ１３は、エンジン１１とモータ１２との動力伝達の接続と遮断を切り換えるもので、エンジン１１の駆動力を利用する場合に接続され、例えばモータ１２のみによる走行を行う場合に開放される。第２クラッチ１６は、モータ１２と駆動輪１４との動力伝達の接続と遮断を切り換えるもので、車両走行時には接続され、変速レンジがＮレンジやＰレンジにある場合に開放される。この実施例では、自動変速機１５内の摩擦締結要素を利用して第２クラッチ１６が構成されており、構成の簡素化が図られている。但し、第２クラッチ１６を自動変速機１５とは別体として、自動変速機１５の前後に設けるようにしても良い。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 schematically shows a hybrid vehicle to which a control device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied. This vehicle is a so-called one-motor two-clutch hybrid vehicle, and an engine 11 and a motor 12 are used in combination as a vehicle drive source. The engine 11 generates driving force by burning fuel such as a spark ignition gasoline engine or a compression self-ignition diesel engine. The motor 12 is a motor generator that generates a driving force by electric power from a battery (not shown) and also functions as a generator that can regenerate power and charge the battery. A first clutch 13 is interposed between the engine 11 and the motor 12, and an automatic transmission 15 and a second clutch 16 are interposed between the motor 12 and the drive wheel 14. The first clutch 13 switches between connection and disconnection of power transmission between the engine 11 and the motor 12, and is connected when the driving force of the engine 11 is used. For example, the first clutch 13 is released when traveling using only the motor 12. . The second clutch 16 switches between connection and disconnection of power transmission between the motor 12 and the drive wheel 14, and is connected when the vehicle travels, and is released when the shift range is in the N range or the P range. In this embodiment, the second clutch 16 is configured by using the frictional engagement element in the automatic transmission 15, and the configuration is simplified. However, the second clutch 16 may be provided separately from the automatic transmission 15 and before and after the automatic transmission 15.

図２は、このハイブリッド車両の制御装置を簡略的に示している。この制御装置は、各種の制御処理を記憶及び実行可能な複数のコントロールユニット２１〜２３がＣＡＮ通信等の双方向通信システムにより接続されている。エンジンコントロールユニット２２は、エンジン１１の燃料噴射時期制御や点火時期制御等のエンジン制御を実行する。変速機コントロールユニット２３は、自動変速機１５の変速制御や、この自動変速機１５に内蔵されている第２クラッチ１６の接続・開放の切換制御等を実行する。ハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１は、車両運転状態に基づいて、第１クラッチ１３及びモータ１２の他、上記のコントロールユニット２２，２３へ制御信号を出力して、車両の動作を統括的に制御する。なお、この実施例では第１クラッチ１３やモータ１２をハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１により直接的に制御するように構成しているが、エンジン１１や自動変速機１５と同様に専用のコントローラを設けるように構成しても良い。   FIG. 2 schematically shows the control device for the hybrid vehicle. In this control apparatus, a plurality of control units 21 to 23 capable of storing and executing various control processes are connected by a bidirectional communication system such as CAN communication. The engine control unit 22 performs engine control such as fuel injection timing control and ignition timing control of the engine 11. The transmission control unit 23 executes shift control of the automatic transmission 15, connection / release switching control of the second clutch 16 built in the automatic transmission 15, and the like. The hybrid control unit 21 outputs a control signal to the control units 22 and 23 in addition to the first clutch 13 and the motor 12 based on the vehicle operating state, and comprehensively controls the operation of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the first clutch 13 and the motor 12 are directly controlled by the hybrid control unit 21, but a dedicated controller is provided in the same manner as the engine 11 and the automatic transmission 15.

図３は、本実施例の要部をなす制御の流れを示すフローチャートである。本ルーチンは、図２の制御装置によって所定期間毎（例えば１０ｍｓ毎）に繰り返し実行される。なお、ステップＳ１１〜Ｓ１７はハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１により実行される処理を示しており、ステップＳ１８〜Ｓ２６はエンジンコントロールユニット２２により実行される処理を示している。   FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of control that is a main part of the present embodiment. This routine is repeatedly executed every predetermined period (for example, every 10 ms) by the control device of FIG. Note that steps S11 to S17 indicate processing executed by the hybrid control unit 21, and steps S18 to S26 indicate processing executed by the engine control unit 22.

ステップＳ１１では、急減速と判定されたか、つまり急減速判定用のフラグが、急減速であることを表す「１」であるかを判定する。この急減速判定用のフラグは、変速機コントロールユニット２３により設定され、例えば、運転者によりブレーキペダルが踏み込まれており、かつ、このブレーキ操作に伴う減速度（車速の低下量またはその変化量）が所定値以上である場合に「１」に設定される。   In step S11, it is determined whether sudden deceleration is determined, that is, whether the rapid deceleration determination flag is “1” indicating rapid deceleration. This sudden deceleration determination flag is set by the transmission control unit 23. For example, the brake pedal is depressed by the driver, and the deceleration accompanying the brake operation (a reduction amount of the vehicle speed or a change amount thereof). Is set to “1” when is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

急減速と判定された場合、ステップＳ１１からステップＳ１２へ進み、所定のエンジン停止許可条件が成立するか否かを判定する。具体的には、車速、機関温度やバッテリ充電量等がエンジンの停止可能な所定条件にあるか否かを判定する。エンジン停止許可条件が成立すると判定された場合には、ステップＳ１３へ進み、エンジン停止許可条件判定用のフラグを、エンジン停止許可条件が成立することを表す「１」に設定する。   When it is determined that the vehicle is suddenly decelerated, the process proceeds from step S11 to step S12, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined engine stop permission condition is satisfied. Specifically, it is determined whether the vehicle speed, the engine temperature, the battery charge amount, and the like are in predetermined conditions that allow the engine to stop. If it is determined that the engine stop permission condition is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S13, and the engine stop permission condition determination flag is set to "1" indicating that the engine stop permission condition is satisfied.

続くステップＳ１４では、運転者操作に応じたエンジン停止要求のフラグを、このエンジン停止要求が有ることを表す「１」に設定し、これをハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１からエンジンコントロールユニット２２へ出力する。このエンジン停止要求は、より具体的には、第１クラッチ１１の開放を伴う急減速時に、エンジンを停止してアイドルストップさせるためのアイドルストップ要求である。なお、この実施例では、簡易的にエンジン停止許可条件が成立する場合にエンジン停止要求（エンジン停止要求用のフラグ＝１）を出力するように構成しているが、エンジン停止許可条件の成立を含めた複数の条件が成立する場合にエンジン停止要求を出力するように構成しても良い。   In the subsequent step S14, the flag of the engine stop request corresponding to the driver's operation is set to “1” indicating that this engine stop request exists, and this is output from the hybrid control unit 21 to the engine control unit 22. More specifically, the engine stop request is an idle stop request for stopping the engine and performing an idle stop at the time of rapid deceleration accompanied by the opening of the first clutch 11. In this embodiment, the engine stop request (engine stop request flag = 1) is output when the engine stop permission condition is simply satisfied, but the engine stop permission condition is satisfied. An engine stop request may be output when a plurality of included conditions are satisfied.

上記のステップＳ１１において、急減速判定用のフラグが「１」ではない、つまり急減速ではない場合には、ステップＳ１５へ進み、エンジン１１の始動許可条件が成立しているかを判定する。つまり、車速、機関温度やバッテリ充電量等がエンジン１１の始動が可能な所定条件にあるか否かを判定する。例えば、車速がほぼ０の停車状態であり、かつブレーキスイッチがＯＮ、つまりブレーキペダルが踏み込まれているときには、車両の不意の発進・移動を招くことなく安定してエンジンを始動可能であるとして、始動許可条件が成立していると判定される。   If the rapid deceleration determination flag is not “1” in step S11 described above, that is, if it is not rapid deceleration, the process proceeds to step S15, and it is determined whether a start permission condition for the engine 11 is satisfied. That is, it is determined whether the vehicle speed, the engine temperature, the battery charge amount, and the like are in predetermined conditions that allow the engine 11 to be started. For example, when the vehicle speed is almost zero and the brake switch is ON, that is, when the brake pedal is depressed, the engine can be started stably without causing unexpected start / movement of the vehicle. It is determined that the start permission condition is satisfied.

始動許可条件が成立していれば、ステップＳ１５からステップＳ１６へ進み、エンジン停止要求の判定フラグを、このエンジン停止要求が無いことを表す「０」に設定する。つまり、始動許可条件の成立を条件として、エンジン停止要求を解除している。   If the start permission condition is satisfied, the process proceeds from step S15 to step S16, and the determination flag for the engine stop request is set to “0” indicating that there is no engine stop request. That is, the engine stop request is canceled on condition that the start permission condition is satisfied.

上記のステップＳ１２において、エンジン停止許可条件が成立していない場合には、ステップＳ１７へ進み、エンジン停止許可判定用のフラグを、エンジン停止許可条件が成立していないことを表す「０」に設定するとともに、ステップＳ１６へ進み、エンジン停止要求の判定用のフラグを、このエンジン停止要求が無いことを表す「０」に設定する。   If the engine stop permission condition is not satisfied in step S12, the process proceeds to step S17, and the engine stop permission determination flag is set to “0” indicating that the engine stop permission condition is not satisfied. At the same time, the process proceeds to step S16, and the flag for determining the engine stop request is set to “0” indicating that there is no engine stop request.

上記のステップＳ１４もしくはステップＳ１６において設定されたエンジン停止要求の判定フラグの結果はＣＡＮ通信を通してハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１からエンジンコントロールユニット２２へ出力される。   The result of the engine stop request determination flag set in step S14 or step S16 is output from the hybrid control unit 21 to the engine control unit 22 through CAN communication.

ステップＳ１８において、エンジンコントロールユニット２２は、ハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１から出力されたエンジン停止要求の判定フラグに基づいて、エンジン停止要求（アイドルストップ要求）が有るか否か、つまり、判定フラグが「１」であるか否かを判定する。エンジン停止要求が有れば、ステップＳ１９へ進み、エンジンの自動停止、つまりはアイドルストップを実施し、フラグＦを、エンジン停止状態であることを表す「１」に設定する。   In step S18, the engine control unit 22 determines whether there is an engine stop request (idle stop request) based on the engine stop request determination flag output from the hybrid control unit 21, that is, the determination flag is “1”. It is determined whether or not. If there is an engine stop request, the process proceeds to step S19, where the engine is automatically stopped, that is, idle stop is performed, and the flag F is set to "1" indicating that the engine is stopped.

ステップＳ２０では、車両運転状態に基づいて設定されるエンジン停止禁止要求としてのアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグを、このアイドルストップ禁止要求が無いことを示す「０」に設定して、アイドルストップ禁止要求を取り下げている。このアイドルストップ禁止要求は、例えばエンジンの排気系に設けられた空燃比センサの故障診断のように、エンジンが実動中であることを条件に実施される処理のためのものである。   In step S20, an idle stop prohibition request flag as an engine stop prohibition request set based on the vehicle operating state is set to “0” indicating that there is no idle stop prohibition request, and an idle stop prohibition request is issued. Withdrawn. This idle stop prohibition request is for processing executed on condition that the engine is in actual operation, such as failure diagnosis of an air-fuel ratio sensor provided in the exhaust system of the engine.

ここで、運転者のブレーキ操作に応じたエンジン停止要求と、車両運転状態に基づいて実施される故障診断等の運転者の操作によらないアイドルストップ禁止要求とは、互いに独立した別の要求であり、それぞれ個別に演算・設定されるものである。従って、これらの相反する要求であるエンジン停止要求とアイドルストップ禁止要求とが同時に出力されることがあり、この場合、予め設定した優先順位に従って、一方を優先的に実施することとなる。この実施例においては、運転者に違和感を与えることのないように、また、排気浄化や燃費向上等を図るために、運転者操作に応じたエンジン停止要求をアイドルストップ禁止要求に比して優先的に実行するように設定されている。   Here, the engine stop request according to the driver's brake operation and the idle stop prohibition request not based on the driver's operation such as failure diagnosis performed based on the vehicle operating state are different requests independent of each other. Yes, each is calculated and set individually. Therefore, an engine stop request and an idle stop prohibition request, which are conflicting requests, may be output at the same time. In this case, one of them is preferentially executed according to a preset priority order. In this embodiment, the engine stop request according to the driver's operation is given priority over the idle stop prohibition request so as not to give the driver a sense of incongruity and to improve exhaust gas purification and fuel efficiency. Set to run automatically.

そして本実施例では、このようにエンジン停止要求を優先してエンジン停止を実行した場合に、ステップＳ２０において、他の要求であるアイドルストップ禁止要求を強制的に解除して、このアイドルストップ禁止要求を取り下げるように構成している。   In this embodiment, when the engine stop is executed with priority over the engine stop request in this way, the idle stop prohibition request which is another request is forcibly canceled in step S20, and this idle stop prohibition request is executed. Is configured to withdraw.

上記のステップＳ１８において、エンジン停止要求が無ければ、ステップＳ２１へ進み、フラグＦが、エンジン停止状態であることを示す「１」であるか否かを判定する。フラグＦが「１」、つまりエンジン停止状態であれば、ステップＳ２２へ進み、診断要求のためのアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグを、アイドルストップ禁止要求が無いことを表す「０」に設定する。   If there is no engine stop request in step S18, the process proceeds to step S21, and it is determined whether or not the flag F is “1” indicating that the engine is stopped. If the flag F is “1”, that is, if the engine is stopped, the process proceeds to step S22, and the flag of the idle stop prohibition request for the diagnosis request is set to “0” indicating that there is no idle stop prohibition request.

続くステップＳ２３では、運転者がアクセルペダルを踏込み操作することによるエンジンの再始動要求が有るか否かを判定する。運転者のアクセル操作に応じたエンジンの再始動要求が有る場合には、ステップＳ２６へ進み、エンジンの再始動（クランキング）を実施するとともに、フラグＦを、エンジン停止状態でないことを示す「０」に設定する。一方、運転者のアクセル操作に応じたエンジンの再始動要求が無い場合には、エンジンの再始動を行うことなく本ルーチンを終了する。   In a succeeding step S23, it is determined whether or not there is a request for restarting the engine due to the driver depressing the accelerator pedal. If there is a request for restarting the engine in accordance with the driver's accelerator operation, the process proceeds to step S26, the engine is restarted (cranking), and the flag F is set to “0” indicating that the engine is not stopped. To "". On the other hand, if there is no engine restart request according to the driver's accelerator operation, this routine is terminated without restarting the engine.

上記のステップＳ２１において、フラグＦが、エンジン停止状態であることを示す「１」でない場合、つまりエンジンが稼働中である場合には、ステップＳ２４へ進み、故障診断のためのアイドルストップ禁止要求が有るか否かを判定する。アイドルストップ禁止要求が有れば、ステップＳ２５へ進み、故障診断用のアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグを、アイドルストップ禁止要求が有ることを示す「１」に設定し、上記ステップＳ２６へ進み、エンジンの再始動を実行する。   If the flag F is not “1” indicating that the engine is stopped in step S21 described above, that is, if the engine is operating, the process proceeds to step S24, and an idle stop prohibition request for failure diagnosis is issued. It is determined whether or not there is. If there is an idle stop prohibition request, the process proceeds to step S25, the flag of the idle stop prohibition request for failure diagnosis is set to “1” indicating that there is an idle stop prohibition request, the process proceeds to step S26, and the engine Perform a restart.

一方、ステップＳ２４において、故障診断のためのアイドルストップ禁止要求が無ければ、上記のステップＳ２２へ進み、故障診断用のアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグを、アイドルストップ禁止要求が無いことを示す「０」に設定する。そして、上記のステップＳ２３において、運転者のアクセル操作に応じたエンジンの再始動要求の有無を判定し、エンジンの再始動要求が有る場合にはステップＳ２６においてエンジンの再始動を行う。   On the other hand, if there is no idle stop prohibition request for failure diagnosis in step S24, the process proceeds to the above step S22, and the flag of the idle stop prohibition request for failure diagnosis indicates “0” indicating that there is no idle stop prohibition request. Set to. In step S23, it is determined whether or not there is a request for restarting the engine according to the driver's accelerator operation. If there is a request for restarting the engine, the engine is restarted in step S26.

図４は、このような本実施例の制御を適用した場合のタイミングチャートを示している。運転者がブレーキペダルを踏み込むことにより車速が低下すると、時刻ｔ１において、急減速と判定されて急減速判定用のフラグが「１」に設定され、これを受けて、エンジン停止許可条件が成立しているかが判定される（矢印Ｙ１参照）。エンジン停止許可条件が成立している場合には、矢印Ｙ２に示すように、エンジン停止要求（フラグ＝１）がハイブリッドコントロールユニット２１からエンジンコントロールユニット２２へ出力されて（時刻ｔ２）、エンジン１１の自動停止が実行されて、エンジン回転速度が０へ向けて急速に低下する。   FIG. 4 shows a timing chart when the control of this embodiment is applied. When the driver depresses the brake pedal and the vehicle speed decreases, at time t1, it is determined that the vehicle is suddenly decelerated, and the flag for determining sudden deceleration is set to “1”. Is determined (see arrow Y1). When the engine stop permission condition is satisfied, as shown by an arrow Y2, an engine stop request (flag = 1) is output from the hybrid control unit 21 to the engine control unit 22 (time t2). An automatic stop is performed, and the engine speed rapidly decreases toward zero.

その後、時刻ｔ３の時点で急減速判定が解除され、時刻ｔ４の時点において、車速が低下してほぼ０、つまり車両停車状態となり、かつ、ブレーキスイッチがＯＮ、つまりブレーキが踏み込まれていることから、上記の始動許可条件が成立していると判定されて、始動許可判定用のフラグが「１」とされる。このように始動許可条件が成立していることを条件として、エンジン停止許可判定用のフラグが「０」とされて、エンジン停止許可が解除され、これを受けて、エンジン停止要求判定用のフラグが「０」とされて、エンジン停止要求が解除される（矢印Ｙ３参照）。   Thereafter, the sudden deceleration determination is canceled at the time t3, and at the time t4, the vehicle speed is reduced to almost zero, that is, the vehicle is stopped, and the brake switch is turned on, that is, the brake is depressed. Therefore, it is determined that the start permission condition is satisfied, and the start permission determination flag is set to “1”. On the condition that the start permission condition is satisfied in this way, the engine stop permission determination flag is set to “0”, the engine stop permission is released, and in response to this, the engine stop request determination flag Is set to “0”, and the engine stop request is canceled (see arrow Y3).

上記のエンジン停止要求が出力される時刻ｔ２の時点では、車両運転状態に応じて設定される故障診断のためのアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグが「１」とされており、つまりアイドルストップ禁止要求も出力されている。つまり、相反するエンジン停止要求（アイドルストップ要求）とアイドルストップ禁止要求の双方が独立して出力されている。上述したように、双方の要求が同時に存在する場合、運転者操作に応じたエンジン停止要求が、運転者操作によらない故障診断用のアイドルストップ禁止要求よりも優先されるために、エンジン停止要求を受けると、アイドルストップ禁止要求の有無にかかわらず、エンジンの自動停止（アイドルストップ）が実行される。   At the time t2 when the engine stop request is output, the idle stop prohibition request flag for failure diagnosis set according to the vehicle operating state is set to “1”. It is output. That is, both conflicting engine stop requests (idle stop requests) and idle stop prohibition requests are output independently. As described above, when both requests exist simultaneously, the engine stop request according to the driver's operation has priority over the idle stop prohibition request for failure diagnosis not based on the driver's operation. When this is received, the engine is automatically stopped (idle stop) regardless of whether there is an idle stop prohibition request.

ここで、一般的には図中の破線Ｌ１の特性で示す比較例のように、エンジン停止要求に応じてエンジン停止（アイドルストップ）が実施されても、アイドルストップ禁止要求の設定はそのまま保持され、つまりアイドルストップ禁止要求が出力され続ける。このような比較例では、エンジン停止要求が解除された時刻ｔ４において、解除されずに残されているアイドルストップ禁止要求によりエンジンの再始動が行われ、運転者の操作によらない不意のエンジンの再始動が発生して、運転者に違和感を与えるおそれがある。   Here, generally, even when the engine is stopped (idle stop) according to the engine stop request as in the comparative example indicated by the characteristic of the broken line L1 in the figure, the setting of the idle stop prohibition request is maintained as it is. That is, the idle stop prohibition request continues to be output. In such a comparative example, at the time t4 when the engine stop request is canceled, the engine is restarted due to the idle stop prohibition request that remains without being canceled, and the unexpected engine that does not depend on the driver's operation. A restart may occur, which may cause the driver to feel uncomfortable.

これに対して本実施例では、エンジン停止要求に応じてエンジン停止を優先的に実行した時点ｔ２で、他の独立した要求であるアイドルストップ禁止要求のフラグを、アイドルストップ禁止要求が無いことを表す「０」に設定しており、つまりアイドルストップ禁止要求を取り下げている。従って、優先度の高いエンジン停止要求が解除された際にも（時刻ｔ４）、アイドルストップ禁止要求が既に取り下げられているために、不意にエンジンの再始動が行われることがなく、つまり運転者の要求によらない不意のエンジン再始動が行われることを回避して、運転者に違和感を与えることを回避することができる。そして、運転者のアクセル操作によるエンジン始動要求が生じた際に（時刻ｔ５）、このエンジン始動要求に応じてエンジンの自動的な再始動が実施されることとなる。   On the other hand, in this embodiment, at the time t2 when the engine stop is preferentially executed in response to the engine stop request, the flag of the idle stop prohibition request which is another independent request is set to indicate that there is no idle stop prohibition request. In other words, the idle stop prohibition request is withdrawn. Therefore, even when the high-priority engine stop request is canceled (time t4), the engine stop is not unexpectedly restarted because the idle stop prohibition request has already been withdrawn. It is possible to avoid unexpected engine restart that does not depend on this request and to give the driver a sense of incongruity. When an engine start request is generated by the driver's accelerator operation (time t5), the engine is automatically restarted in response to the engine start request.

また、本実施例においては、アイドルストップ禁止要求を取り下げる対象となるエンジン停止要求を、運転者のブレーキ操作を伴う急減速時におけるアイドルストップ要求に特定しているために、以下のような作用効果が得られる。   Further, in the present embodiment, the engine stop request that is a target for withdrawing the idle stop prohibition request is specified as the idle stop request at the time of sudden deceleration accompanied by the driver's brake operation. Is obtained.

ハイブリッド車両におけるエンジン１１とモータ１２との間に介装される第１クラッチ１３は、主に通常走行時のエンジン回転数に対して振動を有効に吸収し得る周波数特性を有するものが用いられている。このため、急減速時のような低回転域でのエンジン回転変動を十分に吸収することができず、第１クラッチ１３を繋いだままで急減速が行われると、振動が軸から駆動輪１４へ伝わり、運転者にショックや不快感を与えるおそれがある。そこで、急減速時には第１クラッチ１３を開放させてエンジン停止、つまりアイドルストップを行う必要がある。このため、上述したように、急減速時におけるエンジン停止要求であるアイドルストップ要求を、アイドルストップ禁止要求よりも優先的に行うようにしている。   The first clutch 13 interposed between the engine 11 and the motor 12 in the hybrid vehicle mainly has a frequency characteristic capable of effectively absorbing vibration with respect to the engine speed during normal driving. Yes. For this reason, engine rotation fluctuations in a low rotation range such as during sudden deceleration cannot be sufficiently absorbed, and if sudden deceleration is performed with the first clutch 13 engaged, vibration is transferred from the shaft to the drive wheels 14. There is a risk of shock and discomfort to the driver. Therefore, at the time of sudden deceleration, it is necessary to release the first clutch 13 and stop the engine, that is, idle stop. For this reason, as described above, an idle stop request, which is an engine stop request at the time of rapid deceleration, is given priority over an idle stop prohibition request.

但し、急減速の判定は上述したように車両の減速度に応じて行われ、つまり減速度が所定値以上である場合に急減速と判定されるが、急減速時には車速の急激な低下に伴い減速度も比較的短時間で低下する。従って、急減速時におけるアイドルストップ要求は比較的短時間で解除される要求である。このために、アイドルストップ要求とアイドルストップ禁止要求とが同時に出力されている状態で、アイドルストップ要求によりアイドルストップを優先的に実施する際に、上記の比較例のようにアイドルストップ禁止要求を取り下げなかった場合、アイドルストップ要求を解除する際にアイドルストップ禁止要求が解除されずに残されている可能性が高く、このアイドルストップ禁止要求により不意のエンジンの再始動を生じる頻度が高くなる。本実施例によれば、このような頻度の高いエンジンの不意の再始動を回避することが可能となる。   However, the determination of sudden deceleration is made according to the deceleration of the vehicle as described above, that is, it is determined that sudden deceleration occurs when the deceleration is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Deceleration also decreases in a relatively short time. Therefore, the idle stop request during sudden deceleration is a request that is canceled in a relatively short time. Therefore, when the idle stop is preferentially executed by the idle stop request in the state where the idle stop request and the idle stop prohibition request are output at the same time, the idle stop prohibition request is canceled as in the above comparative example. Otherwise, there is a high possibility that the idle stop prohibition request is left without being canceled when canceling the idle stop request, and the frequency of unexpected engine restart due to the idle stop prohibition request increases. According to the present embodiment, it is possible to avoid such an unexpected restart of the engine with high frequency.

図５は、この発明の他の実施例を示している。この実施例では、図３のステップＳ２１〜Ｓ２３の処理、つまり運転者のアクセル操作に応じたエンジンの再始動に関する処理が省略されている。この場合にも、エンジン停止要求に応じて優先的にエンジン停止を実施した場合には、他の要求であるアイドルストップ禁止要求が取り下げられるために、エンジン停止要求の解除の際にアイドルストップ禁止要求によって不意にエンジンの再始動が実施されることはない。なお、この実施例の場合には、アイドルストップからのエンジンの再始動は、図示せぬ他のルーチンにより実行されるエンジン再始動要求に応じて実施されることとなる。   FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the processing in steps S21 to S23 in FIG. 3, that is, the processing related to the restart of the engine in accordance with the driver's accelerator operation is omitted. In this case as well, when the engine is stopped preferentially in response to the engine stop request, the idle stop prohibition request, which is another request, is withdrawn. The engine will not be restarted unexpectedly. In this embodiment, the engine restart from the idle stop is performed in response to an engine restart request executed by another routine (not shown).

なお、上記の実施例ではハイブリッド車両に本発明を適用しているが、エンジンの自動停止・再始動が可能な車両であればエンジンのみを駆動源とする車両であっても良い。また、上記実施例ではアイドルストップの制御に本発明を適用しているが、アイドルストップ以外の、例えば車両走行中のエンジンの自動停止の制御に本発明を適用することもできる。   In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a hybrid vehicle. However, a vehicle using only the engine as a drive source may be used as long as the vehicle can automatically stop and restart the engine. Further, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to idle stop control, but the present invention can also be applied to control other than idle stop, for example, automatic stop of an engine during vehicle travel.
